Testing & Assessment

The Numbers Behind Your Program

Advanced physiological testing, delivered by Accredited Exercise Physiologists and translated into personalised programs for better health, function and long-term performance.

Objective testing is the difference between a program that should work and a program you can see is working. O2 Active offers a suite of clinical-grade assessments you'd normally have to visit a specialist facility or university lab to access.

Testing is available as a standalone service — including on GP or specialist referral — or as the foundation of any O2 Active program.

Performance athletes and active clients: our laboratory VO₂ Max test measures your true aerobic ceiling and builds your training zones from real data. See VO₂ Max Testing →

Our Testing Suite

VO2 Max Testing

The gold-standard measure of cardiorespiratory fitness — and one of the strongest known predictors of long-term health. A supervised graded exercise test with full gas analysis gives you a precise baseline, accurate training zones, and a number you can genuinely move. Full details & booking →

VO2 Peak Testing

A graded clinical test that stops at your peak — suitable for the general population, including people with health conditions — giving you your own heart-rate training zones under clinical supervision. It also anchors our cardiac exercise physiology program, with results reported back to your cardiologist and GP.

ECAL Metabolic Testing

A simple breathing test that measures how your body produces and uses energy at rest. Real data on your metabolism — resting energy use, fuel utilisation — replaces the estimates most weight management and health programs are built on.

Lactate Threshold Testing

Identifies the exercise intensities where your physiology actually changes gear. Essential for endurance athletes building precise training zones, and valuable for anyone who wants training intensity set by measurement rather than a formula.

VALD Movement Screening

Quantified movement analysis that turns “your squat looks a bit off” into measurable joint angles, ranges and compensations — screening you can track over time, not a one-off opinion.

ForceDecks Force-Plate Testing

Dual force plates measure strength, power, balance and left–right asymmetry with laboratory precision. Used through rehabilitation, return-to-sport decisions, falls-risk assessment and performance training.

Clinical Strength Testing

Objective strength measurement across key muscle groups — baseline, benchmark, and re-test. Because “feeling stronger” is good, and being measurably stronger is better.

Body Composition Analysis

InBody scanning gives an estimate of muscle mass, fat mass and hydration — non-invasive, repeatable, and best used to track your trends under consistent conditions across your program.

Spirometry

Lung function testing that measures how much air you can move and how fast — useful for respiratory screening, pre-exercise safety, and establishing a clear baseline.
